Disclaimers: The Harry Potter novels belong to JK Rowling. Everything else is the result of boredom and/or insomnia and/or too much sugar. ^_^

A/N: For those who don't know what a Blog is, it's some sort of online journal (see blogger.com or pitas.com for examples). ^_^ Here's the next part, enjoy!!

listens to Harry's reply then blinks some more "Oh. Like this...?" mutters "Honestly. Muggle what-do-they-call-it--Tekonlogy. Only they would think of coming up with complicated stuff like this...never know why Hogwarts would embrace it...Shouldn't be too surprised, actually."

computer whirrs

monitor flashes "Harry! Hey, Harry! Come here for a second? whispers excitedly Is it supposed to do this? It's doing something similar to the Maurauders' Map! Are they using the same enchantments? I thought muggles--" gapes at the scene as letters form and words flash

"Now what. Huh, this? You call that a what--a mouse?! snicker snort Who thinks up stuff like this?! shakes the "mouse" Now what. Click? Those? Oh you mean like this--?"

Naked House Elves proceed to dance to loud music across the screen "What the--?! the suggestive music draws the entire common room's attention Harry, help!! turns beet red and tries to hide the monitor from laughing occupants of common room How do I--oh, not that? Harry!! Quit laughing your ass off and help me get rid of-- Thank you. It's your fault. rolls eyes Well you should've told me I had to look for the arrow and move it to the right place.

Ooooouch. Finally getting the hang of this typing business, but it doesn't seem to matter right now; my hands're so sore I can barely type...

Go away, Seamus. I spent the whole day outside serving detention, I thought I'd never be able to thaw. Is nice here where it's warm. Not budging. My butt will stay where it is, thankyouverymuch. Quit shoving me!

And Harry, it *was* priceless. *snicker* Definitely worth today's detention, that victory jig. Damn, but it felt good doing that. Couldn't resist after watching a handful of Slytherin gits (especially Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Zabini and Avery) pop into adorable GERBILS, of all animals! Do you reckon it hurt to be bounced off the walls and the floor of the Great Hall like that? Heh, they looked like a bunch of furry bludgers. Pity Creevey wasn't around, or was he?

As for Her-my-own-ninny, I think she knows it's a Hogsmeade weekend, but you better ask her to make sure. I reckon she's got all three of our schedules and she's filled it with all sorts of revising periods for the O.W.L.s. *rolls eyes* I bet she's made it so we can leave Hogsmeade at a certain time (after maybe practicing Charms, or Defense), and then come back in time for dinner and some more evening studying. I figure she'd *know* if something like an outing or a Quidditch game would interfere with our academics. *grimace* And it's only October.

*sigh* All *right*, Seamus. I'm leaving. Of all the empty WizComp Terminals, you just *have* to use the one I'm using. *yawn* Well, I guess I better go to bed, then. Got Quidditch practice early tomorrow morning.

GOODBYE, Griyffin_Keeper. Thank you for using WizBlog(tm).

*********

There's the second part. There'll be more soon, and maybe some scandals to go with it, and hopefully humour. Fred, George, Hermione, Seamus, Neville, Malfoy, argh, just about everyone in Hogwarts will have a WizBlog, of course. ^_~ I think you'll be seeing a little bit of everyone in the following chapters.

*^_^* My hugs to Cali, Starlett Spellman, Alcione, Crazylass, Bonni (Most of Ron's monologue was inspired by your comment about him going online. Thanks.), magical*little*me, KittenGirl555, Hissclaw, and Yes-I-Know-Who. Thank you for your reviews!!!
